Company Story

Five Decades of Valve Manufacturing

Ashwathi Controls Pvt. Ltd. manufactures and exports industrial valves to more than 40 countries. The promoter of the company, Mr. Nitin Goraiya, is an authority in the valve industry in India. He commenced the design and manufacture of industrial valves in 1971.

As demand for the valves produced under his stewardship increased, the company purchased a new industrial plot from the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation at Kathwada Industrial Estate in 2004 and constructed a factory with contemporary machinery and test facilities.

Industrial valves are manufactured under the FLOEC brand. The company's purpose is to meet global demand with quality that matches international standards of valve manufacture.
